Re: c100 displaying inaccurate colors

Re: Taping a recorder to a microphone
Thanks Steve, I'll check it out. My guess is that if it's too complicated or too risky then I probably won't go that route. However, if there is a simple and safe way to get a wireless signal to my...

Re: When to start upgrading cameras?
If you film in lots of dimly lit churches then the best low light camera right now is the Sony A7S. However, 8 months from now there might be a camera just as good (or better) in low light that also...
